Looking forward to an inspiring and challenging couple of days Bevan Commission #TippingPointConference. Fantastic to hear from Helen Howson who sets out bold ambitions for how we create health and social care that is fit for the future

Rousing opening keynote speech from Eluned Morgan Bevan Commission conference. A reflection on collective responsibility and opportunity. As part of this we must better recognise the crucial contribution of unpaid carers without whom the health and social care system would fail.


Culture always trumps strategy and relationships always trump systems. An important and inspiring focus on harnessing and developing relationships to build a health creating society from Lord Nigel Crisp #TippingPointConference
